Alright, /g/. I've decided to move to Arch. I've been using Fedora for the past two years and, god it's so bloated. Half the time, gnome-shell takes up 100% on one of the cores. I have to manually restart gnome-shell.

What's your favorite Arch Linux setup?

Examples?

Because, it's probably user error and you're just going to bloat out any distro you configure.

>>57766888
If you are to stupid to configure fedora/gnome you really shouldn't install arch.

Thanks for telling us OP.
It matters.

arch is the most bloated distro around, because it doesn't package splitting or ships a lightweight kernel
all this to keep it simple - not for the users, but for the developers
arch is a meme and only newfags fall for the "it's barebones, so it's lightweight" meme
literally every other distro which provides a netinstall is as barebones as arch

it's actually funny that even a ubuntu netinstall is more lightweight than arch

Every fucking thread like this, OP is so fucking retarded he doesn't even know what he uses his computer for.

Explain why are you so poor.
>Package splitting
Use Arch Build System (ABS) for that autism. By default Arch packages are more lightweight than Debian. People usually use a software that will actually work package splitting is useless.
>Lightweight kernel
You can install any kernel in any Distro, newfag
>all this to keep it simple - not for the users, but for the developers
Is that a bad thing? Considering Arch being a DIY distro it makes sense.
Furthermore Arch is pretty simple unlike debian. Consider changing your resolv.conf.
On Arch you just change your resolv.conf, chattr +i /etc/resolv.conf and you are done

Whereas on Debain changing reslov.conf is pointless because it has /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/base, head and tails.

Now the base will often refuse to change your nameservers. But both head and tails can generate it with no problem.

This is very counter-intuitive. Furthermore on tails if you pass timeout: <time>, it just won't work.

Overall Debian over-complicates simple things whereas Arch is more close to vanilla.

Oh and Debian adds distro-specific bugs in OpenSSL which makes it even less "simple"

>Arch is a meme
Ur mum is a meme :DD


Now which distro do you prefer to Arch? let me know and see how bad I shit on it.
